You can get the Hooter’s wings naked? I never knew that! I don’t like them all battered and deep fried. There is a Hooter’s right across the street from my apartment. I’m gonna have to go there tomorrow and see if I can get some naked wings!
Anyway, I never really thought twice about Hooter’s waitresses, and I have eaten there numerous times. My work had a softball team and we would go there after games. I just liked to go and hang out with my friends.
But maybe…now that I have my waterbra…I should go apply for a job!
As my belly is full of TMI naked wings right now, I have to comment. I am a heterosexual female and I go to Hooters quite often. The first time I went was with my parents after a marathon shopping spree. We agreed to go with my dad to balance the fact that we made him go shopping with us for four hours. We all really enjoyed it. It was cheap (happy hour is awesome) and all the waitresses were nice. It has become a tradition now that we go there everytime they visit me.
However I also go with friends quite often. I usually go to the one in Santa Monica, and honestly, most of the women who work there are not all that chesty. And except for one chick in particular, they are all usually really good servers. I don’t tip extremely big because of there breasts, I have my own, but they still give good service every time I go back.
It’s pretty much the best place I know in LA for wings, and the ESPN is an added bonus.
Hooter’s rocks, at least for one reason being that they called the EEOC’s bluff:
A guy actually did apply for a job as a waiter at one once and when he wasn’t hired he filed a complaint with the EEOC for discrimination. The EEOC hauled Hooter’s into court, but when it became clear that Hooters wasn’t going to concede (and was in the process of establishing a large top-grade legal team), the EEOC dropped the suit for reasons they refused to state (easier targets elsewhere, perhaps?). Hooray! Were that it always ended so happily. - MC
Actually, tygre, Show-Me’s is pretty much the same sort of thing as Hooters. The waitstaff is comprised of women, who wear basically the same outfit as Hooters girls do. There are ads on the radio calling it “St. Louis’ original Florida-style” restaurant. I can only assume that they’re using the term Florida-style as some sort of justification for wearing the tight shorts/shirts.
The really interesting thing is that Show-Me’s was in town before, in the exact same place they’re opening in now. I’d be interested to see which place gets the better-looking women. And yes, I do fully intend to do an in-depth case study of this.
Well, damn, teach me to listen to the SO on this one . He was insistent that it was scantily-clad males !!
Now I need to find some other place for a girls’ night out in Springfield…
Oh - rastahomie - I live 3 blocks from Washington Park. Hope to see you all at the next Springfield get-together - didn’t go to the February one as I’d had a baby 3.5 weeks earlier!
Yes, let’s go to a place where women have no concept of feminism and parade themselves for the viceral pleasure of men, pay too much for mediocre food, and act like neanderthals.
I’m appalled that places like that exist and that women would actually want to work there. It is crap like that which reinforces the male belief that women should be on display for their gratification.
Sure thing, Omni. Although, to be honest, I have a feeling that such surroundings will not be appreciated by all attendees…
Alternately, we could sit around flinging generalizations and snap judgments at each other and at society in general. But I’d bet Hooters has better food.
why bother?? buffalo wings and pizza, salads and sandwiches. BIG DEAL!
what is so goddamn great about hooters?
why so much excitement over food almost anyone can fix at home and waitresses with teeny clothes?
I’ve only been to Hooters twice. Both times, the food was just fine (pretty similar to what you’d get at Chili’s or any other big chain restaurant), prices weren’t out of line, and the service was outstanding. You literally could not have an empty glass.
If it was free, I might agree with you. As it stands, however, it’s probably one of the most honest exchanges between male and female: she wants money, he wants to ogle, they both go away happy. I fail to see the problem.
